  • Title: Adolescent health: issues and concerns in India.
    Author: Kannan AT.
    Journal: Health Millions; 1995; 21(3):29-30. PubMed ID: 12346858.
    Abstract:
    Adolescence is a sensitive and important phase in an individual's life during which a multidisciplinary approach must be taken to both understanding and solving his/her problems. An estimated 25% of India's population of 138 million is aged 15-25 years. Girls aged 10-19 years comprise about 22% of the female population. A wide range of issues and concerns face adolescents in India, including nutritional deficiencies, reproductive health problems, sexually transmitted diseases, and mental and physical stress-related problems. Stress often results in the abuse of tobacco and other habit-forming drugs. The author discusses nutrition, reproductive health, pregnancy, sexuality, and mental and social concerns as they are related to adolescents.
